PITTSBURG, Oct 2.—The doors of the Federal National bank were not opened for business this morning. The following notice was posted in explanation: Closed by the authority of the comp- troller of the currency. (Signed) JOHN B. CUNNINGHAM, Receiver. Some such action as this has been within the possibilities for the past two days, forecasted by the determined raid made upon the institution's stock on the Pitts- burg Stock exchange. The positive state- ments, however, of the president, J. A. Langfitt, to the effect that the bank was not in need of money, that its losses would not affect its capital or surplus, did much toward allaying distrust on the part of its depositors. thus preventing & run. The closing of the bank was decided upon at a meeting of the directors last night, which did not break up until 2 o'clock this morning. At that hour none of the officials would make a statement and lo- cally the outcome of the meeting was not generally known until the recelver's notice was posted at § o'clock.

The condition of the stock has attracted much attention and numerous rumors were in eirculation, but they were fully and promptly denied by President Langfitt. He stated yesterday evening that the bank had suffered only one possible loss, that of $140,60, for which it held motes of the Eastern Tube company of Dayton, O. That company is in the hands of a receiver and a plan of reorganization is being worked out, he said, and the bank's loss on that account may be small. The closing of the Federal National bank had apparently but lttle effect on the local stock exchange Trading was light, but frm at about yesterday's closing quotations. No dealings in any of iocal banks were recorded during the first hour's trading and no unusual action is looked for today.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2L.—At 10 o'clock today, in the old cathedral, funeral services were conducted over the body of the late Archbishop John J. Kain, of this diocese, who died last week in Baltimore, M&. The final ceremonies were attended by a vast assemblage. Cardinal Gibbons cele- brated the pontifical high requiem mass adn five archbishops performed the rite of absolution. Archbishop Keane of Dubuque, la, officiated in delivering the funeral sermon. The obsequies at the old cathedral was conducted shortly after noon and the body was interred in Calvary cemetery, along- side the grave of Archbishop Kenrick, who was at the bead of this archdiocese for many years and who preceded Archbishop Kain, his coadjuter. Long before the beginning of the cere- monies the old cathedral was filled to its utmost capacity and hundreds were unable to gain an entrance. The sanctuary had been reserved for the hierarchy and clergy. Archbishops and bishops knelt on prie dieus in front of tho sltar, while the local clergy and members of the different Catholic orders and so- cleties filled the body of the church. One hundred students from Kendrick semirary, the Institute founded by Arch- bishop Kenrick, sang the requiem mass. At the conclusicn of the mass, Archbishop 3. J. Keane, who was a close friend of the time when they were classmates at college, preached the funeral panegyric. His text was from the first chapter of Ephesians, “For Me to Live as Christ and to Die is Gain." With much feeling and eloquence the archbishop told of their early assocla- tions In St. Charles seminary at Baltimore forty-two years ago. He also cited the work accomplished by his friend along the Potomac after the civil war in reorganiz- ing the Catholic congregations, that had been disrupted by the civil strife. , When Archbishop Keane had concluded absolution was pronounced over the bier and opportunity was given those assembled to take a farewell view of the remains. The cortege then proceeded to Calvary cemetery, where interment was made. At the grave Archbishop Glennon read the services for the dead and the priests’ cholr chanted the benedictus. The old cathedral where the obsequies were held was appropriately decorated, its immense columns being in solid black with wide streamers of purple festooned between and along the walls. | Among the hierarchy present were the following: Archbishops Glennon of St. Louis, Elder of Cincinnati, Harty of Manila, Muldoon of Chicago and Keane of Dubuque; Bishops Burke of 8t Joseph, Mo, Scannell of Omaha, Maes of Covington, Ky., Donohue of Wheeling, W. Va., Cotter of Winona, Minn., Hennessey of Wichita, Kan., Cun- ningham of Concordia, Kan., Ryan of Al- ton, Iil., Foley of Detroit and Mearscheart of Oklahoma, and Mgr. Murray of Cin- natl.
